Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

EXPORT_SYMBOL and __init is a bad combination because the .init.text
section is freed up after the initialization.
Commit c5a130325f13 ("ACPI/APEI: Add parameter check before error
injection") exported page_is_ram(), hence the __init annotation should
be removed.
This fixes the modpost warning in ARCH=alpha builds:
WARNING: modpost: vmlinux: page_is_ram: EXPORT_SYMBOL used for init symbol. Remove __init or EXPORT_SYMBOL.

The lenovo-ymc driver is causing the keyboard + touchpad to stop working
on some regular laptop models such as the Lenovo ThinkBook 13s G2 ITL 20V9.
The problem is that there are YMC WMI GUID methods in the ACPI tables
of these laptops, despite them not being Yogas and lenovo-ymc loading
causes libinput to see a SW_TABLET_MODE switch with state 1.
This in turn causes libinput to ignore events from the builtin keyboard
and touchpad, since it filters those out for a Yoga in tablet mode.
Similar issues with false-positive SW_TABLET_MODE=1 reporting have
been seen with the intel-hid driver.
Copy the intel-hid driver approach to fix this and only bind to the WMI
device on machines where the DMI chassis-type indicates the machine
is a convertible.
Add a 'force' module parameter to allow overriding the chassis-type check
so that users can easily test if the YMC interface works on models which
report an unexpected chassis-type.

getline() returns -1 at EOF as well as on error. It also doesn't set
errno to 0 on success, so initialize it to 0 before using errno to check
for an error condition. See the paragraph here [1]:
For some system calls and library functions (e.g., getpriority(2)),
-1 is a valid return on success. In such cases, a successful return
can be distinguished from an error return by setting errno to zero
before the call, and then, if the call returns a status that indicates
that an error may have occurred, checking to see if errno has a
nonzero value.
Bear has a bug [2] that launches processes with errno set and causes the
following build failure:
$ bear -- make LLVM=1

While performing certain power-off sequences, PCI drivers are called to
suspend and resume their underlying devices through PCI PM (power
management) interface. However the hardware does not support PCI PM
suspend/resume operations so system wide suspend/resume leads to bad MFW
(management firmware) state which causes various follow-up errors in driver
when communicating with the device/firmware.
To fix this driver implements PCI PM suspend handler to indicate
unsupported operation to the PCI subsystem explicitly, thus avoiding system
to go into suspended/standby mode.

We set cache_block_group_error if btrfs_cache_block_group() returns an
error, this is because we could end up not finding space to allocate and
mistakenly return -ENOSPC, and which could then abort the transaction
with the incorrect errno, and in the case of ENOSPC result in a
WARN_ON() that will trip up tests like generic/475.
However there's the case where multiple threads can be racing, one
thread gets the proper error, and the other thread doesn't actually call
btrfs_cache_block_group(), it instead sees ->cached ==
BTRFS_CACHE_ERROR. Again the result is the same, we fail to allocate
our space and return -ENOSPC. Instead we need to set
cache_block_group_error to -EIO in this case to make sure that if we do
not make our allocation we get the appropriate error returned back to
the caller.
